<p>What your teacher is doing isn’t fair at all. But in the current educational system, I bet teachers do it all the time. If your teacher is teaching calculus, however, there is more than likely a specific procedure and answer that is needed. In math, there should be no “opinion” or “bias”.
Do the test to the best of your ability making sure that every answer and procedure is correct…if she takes off points when there is clearly nothing wrong…then complain!
Complain to her and then the headmaster. </p>
<p>But what you are dealing with, many others deal with on a daily basis. It’s sad. </p>
<p>But really, just kiss up to her! Be nice to her as much as you can. Give her flowers every Friday.</p>
<p>No, you should not, yalefanboy. Your teacher has been in a position of almost absolute authority for years now. I highly doubt she’ll take kindly to someone better qualified than her alerting her to her flaws. Besides, her profession is teaching. His is math. They’re different areas. Which is what she’ll most likely immediately leap to, to avoid having to give what he says any credence.</p>
Are you sure you are a senior? If you were a freshman, okay, but these types of posts are totally not okay when you are a senior.</p>
<p>Don’t talk to you principal or whatever. Starting from now on, don’t argue with her over your test grades, homework 0’s, and bla bla… Try to be on of those students that she “likes”. Trust me, there is no other way in this situation.</p>
<p>Do your work. Calmly, and very, very humbly ask your teacher if there is anything wrong with your character that’s hurting your grades in the class, and what you can do to improve.</p>
<p>DON’T immediately go over her head and straight to authority. Nothing ****es teachers off more than that. Not even parent emails.</p>
